Presents for photographers

[Ian]

OK, so Christmas is but a month a way, give a few days. I was wondering what folks here would wish to be given for Christmas - in the 'photography' category? Books, accessories, pictures? Something more expensive - probably!

And what about ideas for giving presents to keen photographers?

I've bought my daughter a Canon A620 - excellent reviews and excellent price. (Reckon Dad might be borrowing it when he doesn't want to cart the SLR gear about )

Very kind of you Ian

I am hoping for a new camera bag, with a space for the laptop. (although, I have already had mine, which was a photography day with the wolves! which was a super present, so if youor thinking of buying something for that special photographer in your life, photography days are grrrrrreat!)

That is very kind of DPNow.

Something cheap and symbolic that can be easily mailed also to non UK DPNow users if possible.
For example a frame with our POTD, or some normal size & speed memory card, or spare camera battery, e.t.c

I don't mind if someone wants to give me a K10D. I wouldn't mind if they wanna give me some of those proposed Schneider lenses for my Birthday next September too.

If they don't - I s'pose I'd just have to spend my own savings instead of theirs.

If you insist,
Perhaps a digi SLR and two lenses covering 28 to 300mm preferably able to take C/Flash memory cards.

I'm thinking of setting up a studio in a spare room .
So a few lights and backdrops plus someone who can teach me to use them would be nice .

The Elinchron D-Lite kit takes some beating for a portable and good value lighting system. A couple of Colorama rolls, possibly half width will be fine for portraits. You will no doubt need a flashmeter, a sync lead or IR trigger and you are set up. There aresome reasonably priced background support kits on Ebay too

Re: Presents for photographers

I wouldn't mind one of those Spyder monitor calibration thingys - seeing that I can't use my Adobe one - failing that a photography or photoshop elements course might be fun

Six young blonds and a partridge in a pear tree. Oh and a loan of Bigbobs spare room. Now that would be nice.
